The Price of the Painting Driven
Down by Amateurs Earning Pin
Money.
New York Graphic.
One of the signs that the artist is
abroad in the land is the passion for
''hand-painted" things among the Phil
listineS that the artist himself is far
from sharing. "Hand-painted?" said
one the other day to a young woman
who was Boosting of new fan. THAT
is reason enough for suppoSing it is
very bad" And no wonder, when one
comes TO know how this hand paint
ing is done and paid for wonder who
are the people who paint with their
feet.) An advertisement appeared in
morning paper the other day asking
artists who were accustomed to decOra-
tive Work and wanted employment to
come to a certain down town address,
where fancy articles are being prepared
for the holiday trade The observer is
not painter, but he went to see how it
Jared with those that were.
Xe gods and little fSheSl He saw, if
people can be supposed to fare at all
who paint cards for cent apiece and
deliberately decorate calendars for
20 cents. 1t is impossible to see how
people can Subsist on their earnings at
these figures, and probably most of
them only in this way exc out all income
derived from some other source. Of
course it is the shoals of young people
with little accomplishments of this sort,
who are living by other means, that
have driven the prices of this work so
terribly low, and this is very hard on
the people who are depending upon it
for a living.
The people who had advertised for
painters seemed fairly decent couple,
man and his wife, and the woman be-
gan in deprecating way when the
observer asked about the work by say
ing that the prices were not very large.
She told afterwards how the Ia e firm
whom they worked for had said that the
cost of the goods must be still further
reduced and how her husband had cut
down everybody but the paint' IS. HE
didn't see how he could mai.e them

work were shown and some Of it was

IN KAMTSCHATKA.
A Pen Picture of a Native Village
and Its Diverse Inh abitantS.


The aboriginals of Kamtschatka are
Kamtschatdales and Koriaks; but little
is known of their origin, and both have
decreased in numbers since the
Russian occupation, says Cham
bers' Journal. The country is
now chiefly peopled by Siberian
Russians. and by a race the product of
intermarriage between them and the
the original KamtschatdaleS. This new
race it is usual to distinguish as KANT
schatkans; and greedy, disagreeable
kind of people they seem to be. They
are of a low order and live in summer
in either wretched huts by the river
banks OF in lofts above the sheds in
which they hang their fish. In winter
they have Seml-Subterranean dwellings.
The pure KamtschatdaleS, on the
other hand, appear to be a kindly and
hOSpitable people. The houses of the
better class of natives of Russian blood
are usually lOg-built, implanted, con-
tanning two, and sometimes, but rarely,
four rooms, in which Will be found
few chairs, a rough deal-table, taWny
gilt eikOn of the Russian church and
any number of cOckrOacheS and unmen-
tiOnable insects. The houses are in
many places raised above the ground,
either upon stones, like hayStacks, or
upon low wooden pillars. The floors
are boarded and the house is warmed
by means of huge brick stove built in
between the rooms, which develops i'm
mense heat.
The diet of these upper classes" is
besides fSh-milk, sour cream, rye
bread and bilberries. The bilberry
seems to be the only fruit in KANT
schatka. A few patches of potatoes and
cabbages occasionally surround the bet
ter villages; but, unless at Melcova,
there are no cereals, although it is
stated that rye would do very well in
some parts of the valley of the KANT
schatka river. The harvest of the river
and the sea is enough. however. to oc-
cupy all the time and thoughts of the
Kamtschatkan, and he has neither the
leisure nor the taste for agriculture.

SHEBOYGAN, Mich, Nov. ,35.-The

portion of her cargo, and will

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-The three-masted

up that she Immediately water logged.
Capt. EstrOm. of the Phoenix, had guns
fired and torches burned, but ali of no
avail. He ordered the crew of eight men
to man the yawl and abandon her. They
were tossed about for three hours in the
surf, but at last effected a landing at
Twenty-third street. The barge which
collided with the Phoenix is supposed to
be safe in achOrage at the mouth of
the Grand Calumet river.

Something to Remember.

Better bend the neck promptly than
to bruise the forehead.
An evil intention perverts the best
actions and makes them sins.
A cOXcOmb is ugly all over with the
affectation of the gentleman.
Cleverness is a sort of genius for in
strumentality. 1t is the brain of the
hand.
Men who live without religion live al
ways in tumultuary and restless state
When respiration ceases our educa-
ton is finished, and not a moment
sooner.
Most of the shadows that cross ouI
path through life are caused by stand
ing iii our own light.
Even reckoning makes lasting friends,
and the way to make reckonings is tC
make them often.
True friends visit us in prosperity
only when invited, but in adversely they
come without invitation.
Many men claim to be firm in theil
principles, when really they are only
obstinate in their preiudices.
Frugal and industrious men are
friendly to the established government
as the idle and expensive are danger

THE FAMILY MANS WOE.

You ask me why am SO sad,
who was once so gay.
And why look as if 1 had
Unnumbered debts to pay.
Why wear such gloomy face,
And heave such frequent signs,
As if felt some deep disgrace
And yearned for some disguise.
Why so seldom laugh or smile
Who used to joke and jest
Until my friends, less volatile,
Plead plaintiyely for rest.
Wouldst know, then, what the sorrow is
That's eating out my soul?
Alas! again the price has riZ,
And we are out of coal.

ADVENTURES OF WATCH.
1t Was Stolen, Lost, Found and
Returned to Its Owner

1t Was Stolen, Lost, Found and
Returned to Its Owner.
Washington Star.
A curious story about watch has
just developed at Troy. Ala. Twenty
years ago George Etheridge, who lived
in the upper part of Pike county, treated
himself to fine gold watch, for which
he paid S165. He took it home, and
his father told him that, inasmuch
as he had invested so much in watch,
it would be a good idea to take down
the makers name and number, which
he did, without ever thinking that that
little precaution would ever avail any
thing. He kept it until 1876, when
laborer on his place took adj
vantage of his absence one day,
broke into his house, and stole
The thief went down into Dale coun ty
and in a short time got into trouble. In
order to evade the clutches of the law,
he laid out in a piece of woods, and
while there he lost his stolen prize, and,
in short time left for the
West. In 1882, while Mr. Metcalf,
who lives near Daleville, was shrub
bling piece of second years land, he
found the watch, and related the cir
cumStanceS to several of his neighborS,
but could find no owner for the prop
erty. The watch had been lying in the
woods six years, and was in bad fix.
Metcalf carried it to a jeweler in
Eufaula and had it repaired, and took it
home with him and kept it until last
Saturday. In the early part of the week
Mr.. A. Haley of this city, who is a
brOther-in-law of Mr.. Etheridge, heard
something that induced him to wire Mr..
Etheridge at Evergreen to come over,
that he thought he could put him on the
track of his lost watch. Mi. Etheridge
arrived in the city and went to Mr..
Metcalf'S, described the watch, gave the
number and the makers name. paid
Metcalt what he had paid out for re-
pairs, received his property and re-
turned highly elated over his success i'll

How they know not-they cannot tell-look

But do not speak their knowledge.
Generally the raven is disliked by
sailors, as is also the crow, and many
stories are related of their ominOuS
character. Occasionally they are propi
tiated, and in China, when crows perch
on the mast, crumbs of bread are
thrown to them in order to-
secure favorable winds. Such
are some of the birds assOci-.
ated with the sea, from most of which
Omens for good or evil have been de-

similar ones credited by Greek mariners
more than 1000 years ago, for Aristo-

1t is not surprising, however, that
many odd beliefs have clustered round

remembered how sailors are ever Oh the
